Im not much of a high fantasy girlie, I was put off by series like Game of Thrones and thought this genre maybe wasn't for me. But this book may have changed my mind. It was refreshing reading a fantasy with nearly no misogyny at all, the battle scenes were really clear and crisp, the creatures in this world were so creepy and fascinating and the plot was really plotting. My favourite thing about it though was the characters, they were fantastic, I really fell in love with them. Their motivations were always really clear and even though they were flawed I couldn't help but root for them the whole way through (even when they were making the most ridiculous decisions). Loved This. Can't wait to read the next

the plot, the lore, the characters, the monsters, the magic, the fighting, all of it is just amazingly written and really sucks you into this beautiful and compelling but deadly world, where nothing and noone ever feels save...
... and the ending just leaves you wanting for more!
(the beginning was a bit slow though, which is the only reason why I'm not rating this 5 stars)
